Very similar to our British Puss moth this moth is found across Europe. The eggs are larger, flatter and coloured bright orange and camouflaged to look like a leaf gall. I was amazed to see the larvae hatch from the eggs in such a small space with there crumpled tails. The young larvae started eating the top layer of the leaf. The full-grown larvae have a distinguishing feature, a white-edged saddle marking with a central “snowdrop” which the British Puss Moth does not have. Food plant is Poplars, Sallows and Willows.
